'Lush Life' is a jazz standard that was written by Billy Strayhorn from 1933 to 1936. It was performed publicly for the first time by Strayhorn and vocalist Kay Davis with the Duke Ellington Orchestra at Carnegie Hall on November 13, 1948.[1]
Background[edit]
The lyric describes the author's weariness of the night life after a failed romance, wasting time with 'jazz and cocktails' at 'come-what-may places' and in the company of girls with 'sad and sullen gray faces/with distingué traces'. Strayhorn was a teenager when he wrote most of the song, which was to become his signature composition (along with 'Take the 'A' Train').
The song was written in the key of D-flat major.[1] The melody is over relatively complex chord changes, compared with many jazz standards, with chromatic movement and modulations that evoke a dreamlike state and the dissolute spirit characteristic of the so-called lush life.
Nat King Cole performed 'Lush Life' in 1949, while trumpeter Harry James recorded it four times. In the 1950s it was performed by jazz vocalists Ella Fitzgerald, Carmen McRae, and Sarah Vaughan. John Coltrane recorded it twice. One was a 14-minute version in 1958 as the title track of an album for Prestige. The other was in 1963 with vocalist Johnny Hartman. Kurt Elling recorded a version for his album Dedicated to You: Kurt Elling Sings the Music of Coltrane and Hartman.[1]
Linda Ronstadt's version won the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocal(s) (1986).
Other musicians who have recorded the song include Joey Alexander, Chet Baker, Andy Bey, Anthony Braxton, Sylvia Brooks, Kate Ceberano & Mark Isham, Sammy Davis Jr., Blossom Dearie, Bebi Dol, Lisa Ekdahl, Ella Fitzgerald & Oscar Peterson, Bill Frisell, Lady Gaga, Stan Getz, Joe Henderson, Stevie Holland, José James, Molly Johnson, Rickie Lee Jones, Sheila Jordan, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Queen Latifah, Julie London, Patti Lupone, Johnny Mathis, Tito Puente, Joshua Redman, Buddy Rich, Linda Ronstadt, Tony Scott, Rare Silk, Terell Stafford, McCoy Tyner, Ernie Watts, Bob Welch, and Nancy Wilson.

Can I return my product if it arrives melted, or melts while I've stored it?
You're A Lush Meaning
Products labeled with our melt warning symbol are designed to melt around body temperature. Especially in the summer months or in hot climates, it’s possible for these products to melt while in transit. If products with a melt warning arrive melted, we won’t be able to replace or refund them, so order at your own risk! To avoid disappointment in hot climates or seasons, we recommend purchasing meltable products at your local shop. If melting does happen, in most cases you can simply pop the product into the fridge to solidify and they’ll still be usable (though may not look as pretty!). Once they’ve arrived, keep meltable products in a cool spot away from direct sunlight.
